Forecasts

Perfect Soldier (3/1), Sienna Dream (7/2), Jewel Maker (4/1), Kodimoor (4/1), Lagenda (10/1), Mudawwan (11/1), Bankawi (14/1), God Of Dreams (16/1), Strong Steps (16/1), Irish Eileen (16/1), Sassoon (18/1), Exchequer (FR) (22/1), Forever A Lady (40/1), Don't Joke (66/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to the ultra-consistent SIENNA DREAM, who beat everything bar a progressive one at Hamilton last month. Strong Steps is potentially well handicapped now and hinted at a revival over C&D last week, with Kodimoor another to consider in his current mood.

  1. SIENNA DREAM
  2. STRONG STEPS
  3. KODIMOOR (IRE)
